What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

Tropical Banana Loaf

Since I am already on, I might as well post the recipe for the bread I baked and brought to church fellowship meal today.

Bananas and pineapples make a delicious combination in this tasty bread! It is a GREAT change of pace from traditional banana bread. YUM! I imagine I will be making several more batches-since I see quite a few more bags of ripe bananas in my freezer! ;-)

In a large bowl, combine first five ingredients. In another bowl, beat eggs, oil and vanilla. Add fruits. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour into two greased bread loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 60-65 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

For icing:

I wanted to create an orange flavored frosting-but didn't have any OJ. Instead I used Lemon juice. Very good. If you want to try the frosting flavored orange-just subsititute OJ for the lemon juice.

(These ingredients can be played with. If you like more flavoring-add more juice a teaspoon at a time. Add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time to get a good consistency for drizzling... and if by mistake you added too MUCH liquid-just add more sugar!)

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I am a girl who needs CREATING in her life like a fish needs water. It is in my bones.
Squeezing that need around a husband, five children, homeschooling, gardening, canning, and the call of the country life is the challenge!
Sometimes the only bit of creating I can manage in a day is to snap a picture or make a palatable dinner. And that is okay. That's my life right now-and it is BEAUTIFUL.
